New laptop for me!

It came today!  Kinda a late Mother's Day gift to me.  My HP laptop was about 7 years old and stuck on Windows 7.  It wasn't really bad, but I definitely could use an update.  Definitely could use an refresh. Gene found a Lenovo at Costco for about $500.  Set it up, mostly, but some things are weird and it will take a bit for me to figure them out.  

I hope to be able to use our printer easier than it was with my old laptop.  Not sure why it was a pain.  

Used the new laptop for Reading Group today and Karen said we looked a little sharper and she could hear us well.  So that's good.

Cancelled bronch :(

 Long story but I cancelled the bronch for Casey.  When the pre-op people called they told us to be there at 6:30AM!  I thought something had changed.  No one could tell me what the actual time of his procedure was.  Come to find out, there really isn't a time set.  Its first case, second case, etc.  But, when the pulmonary nurse called on Monday morning to check what was up, she said to just ignore what the pre-op people said, sigh.  I wish I had known.  When I tried to find out what was up, on Saturday morning-because no one called me back from pulmonary on Friday, I was sent all over the hospital but no one knew anything.  I don't know why I never thought to ask to have the on call pedi pulmonary doc paged.  We're pretty self sufficient and haven't needed things after hours very often so it didn't even cross my mind.  

Anyway, he is scheduled for Monday the 24th and we're to be there at 7:30 AM.  That's early enough for me!  We're way out of practice in getting ready early.  So crazy to remember that we used to have Casey ready by 7:00 AM certain days of the week his last few years of school.  (some days were later).  

Casey has to get another Covid test done.  The same service will come here.  The nurse I spoke with at pulmonary said they had no problems getting into the van to test him but when they called to set him up, they said NO WAY so they have the service coming again Friday at 10 AM.  

Covid test for Casey--don't worry, he's not sick!

 Casey has a bronchoscopy scheduled for Monday morning. The hospital requires him to get a Covid test beforehand. We were going to get scheduled at the drive through testing at Fanny Allen but when they called to set it up Gene told them that Casey is in a power chair in the van and they said the tester will not go into vehicle. So they set us up with a service that comes to the house.  They are a medical transport business as well as well as offsite Covid testing. 

They scheduled us for 10 but of course they called to push it out to noon. They were here at 12:20.  Casey was nervous and asked some questions to me beforehand. We wheeled him outside.  It was quick and Casey was cooperative. I think it was 10 seconds in the tip of each nostril and that was it.  

Pfizer #2 for me

 So I had my second Pfizer shot on the 11th in the AM/  I gotta say that they were very helpful and efficient at the Double Tree.  Once again I was in and out smoothly and quickly. 

Afterwards, I went to Chris's.  We had some coffee cake and then we decluttered, cleaned and organized one of her bottom cupboards and two utensil drawers.  We consolidated some items, discarded old and broken things, got rid of duplicates and got rid of items she doesn't use anymore and we also threw out some outdated food.  It wasn't bad but you could tell she hadn't done it in a LONG time. I suggested she buy some cereal containers,some pull out bins for her bottom cupboard and some new food storage containers/Tupperware.

Went home, drank, had something to eat and then took a nap. 

I didn't get a head ache at all and my arm didn't hurt as badly as it did last time.  I was tired and my brain was a step or two behind the eight ball but that was the worst that I got for side effects.  Phew. I was the last to vaccinated. In a couple weeks I'll have a good immunity build up, I hope.
